privacy

last updated october 22, 2026draft: under review before launch

bloc is for finding nights and the people you go with. we keep as little as we can, everything social starts private, and you choose every public moment.

what we collect

• your phone number, to sign you in. we don’t show it to anyone.
• your handle, first name and city.
• anything you choose to add: a photo, your card, nights you save or say you’re going to, crews, posts, stories and props.
• if you run a talent page: your page, links, availability and the requests people send you.

what starts private

crews, nights you’re going to, saved nights, your collection and your location all start private. nothing you do is shared until you turn it on. inside a crew, members see each other’s first name and handle, not your full profile.

location

location is off by default. if you turn it on for a crew, it’s shared only with that crew, only on the night, and it’s removed or blurred afterwards. bloc never keeps a running record of where you are and never tracks you in the background.

things we never do

• we never hold your money. payments go through stripe to the host or talent you’re paying.
• we never keep your id. if a night needs an age check, a provider does it and we keep only the result.
• we never invent people or crowds. counts you see come from real people.
• reports and blocks are never shown to anyone, including the person reported.
• paying bloc never changes what you see first.
• your private messages, photos, location and id are never used to train models.

props and stories

props show as totals on an act’s page. nobody can see who gave them. stories disappear after 24 hours.

notifications

bloc only sends push notifications if you allow them. you can mute a crew, set quiet hours or turn them off in settings.

take it with you, or leave

from your profile you can download a copy of your data or close your account. closing signs you out everywhere and deletes or anonymizes what’s yours. it doesn’t delete other people’s crews, messages or keepsakes. if something is still open, like a booking or a crew you lead, we’ll ask you to settle it first.

services we use

supabase stores bloc’s data. stripe handles payments. we use a text provider for sign-in codes, maps for venues, and openai to read public event flyers. public event details come from public pages like posh; bloc never sees ticket buyers or private ticket data.
